Mental health and wellbeing
These last few years have been challenging with the Covid pandemic and been in lockdown for so long not seeing the ones we love. So we are suffering with our mental health and wellbeing more than ever before. Aside from the physical benefits massage therapy also provides numerous mental and emotional benefits.
• Improves sleep
Massage has been proven to improve sleep patterns in adults that suffer from insomnia , fibromyalgia, migraines and a lot more. It can actually force the body to relax, pulling muscles smooth and long again causing an increase in blood circulation. These send signals to the brain that telling it to relax.
• Relieves symptoms of depression
If you have depression massage therapy probably
wont cure your condition but it may help relieve
the physical symptoms associated with it. For
example massage may help alleviate sluggishness,
back pain, joint pain, muscle aches and fatigue.
• Promotes feeling of wellbeing and connection
• Lowers stress levels
Massage lowers the heart rate, respiratory
rate, and blood pressure, boosts the immune
system and generally decreases the effects of
stress.
• Feel fresh and energized
Massage will help to improve a healthy circulatory
system, facilitate detoxification and lymphatic
drainage. When we feel less energetic our body's
can struggle to maintain health. Adding massage
to regular routines can support greater well being
and provide the opportunity for more energy.
Hence you are less stressed, sleep better, have
greater mental clarity your body can operate at its
peak performance no matter what the season.
• Naturally increase serotonin and dopamine (feel
good hormones)
Massage lowers stress levels, decreases anxiety
and reduces irritability.
• Calms the mind
